EUREKA, CA (September 29, 2023) — Compass Community Credit Union is pleased to support local students by providing add-on bids for the Jr. Livestock Auction at the Humboldt County Fair. Projects include raising steers, lambs, goats, hogs, rabbits, and poultry. These students are required to select an animal, purchase, feed, and groom the livestock to be judged, graded, and sold at the fair.
The Jr. Livestock Auction was held on August 27, 2023. At the end of the auction, individuals and organizations can provide donations in the form of an add-on bid. Compass Community Credit Union was proud to support nine students, all members of the credit union. Students invest a year’s worth of hard work for their project and proceeds are reinvested into student’s projects or set aside for future educational expenses. Some students are independent, while others are involved in the FFA, 4-H, or Grange.
“We are proud of our young members and the hard work they invest into their projects. The time commitment and dedication they invest into their livestock is amazing,” said Compass Community Credit Union CEO, Ray Litchfield. “These students work hard and learn tremendous life lessons and responsibilities. We want to support and recognize these students for all of their efforts over this past year.
Compass Community Credit Union serves members in Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity counties. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, or worships in these three counties. For over 73 years, Compass Community Credit Union has been offering financial solutions to members. For more information, visit Compassccu.org.
